REM – Make it all ok
You threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore
Didn´t you, now? Didn´t you?
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
Didn´t you, now? Didn´t you?
So you worked out your excuses,
turned away and shut the door
The world?s too vast for us now,
and you wanted to explore
It´s a long, long long road
And I don´t know which way to go
If you offered me your hand again I´d have to walk away
When I saw you at the street fair, you called out my name
Didn´t you, now? Didn´t you?
You said we could start over, try and make it all okay
Didn´t you, now? Didn´t you?
So our past has been rewritten
and you threw away the pen
You´d said that I was useless,
but now you´ll take me in again
Well Jesus loves me fine
And your words fall flat this time
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
«We don´t have a prayer between us»
Didn´t you believe that I have finally turned away?
Didn´t you, now? Didn´t you?
Anything to hold onto to help me through my day
Didn´t you, now? Didn´t you?
Jesus loves me fine
But his words fall flat this time
It´s a long, long long road
And I don´t know which way to go
If you offered me your world, did you think I´d really stay?
If you offered me the heavens, I would have to turn away
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
«We don´t have a prayer between us»
Didn´t you, now? Didn´t you, now?
Didn´t you?
